Show HN: Extend Zigbee sensor range with LoRaWAN

This is a fantastic idea, thanks for sharing. I feel like LoRaWAN and LoRAMESH are the perfect solution for shuffling messaging around for home and property sensors, easily traversing a couple miles in poor conditions.

Prior to seeing this I was thinking about how to use the Meshtastic [0] project to fundamentally provide simple UDP services for message brokering over LoRa. There are so many sensors that could easily hook or connect to devices acting as network routers that could bridge other protocols across long distances very easily.

Have you looked at doing something similar with ZWave at all?

Thanks! We haven't looked at Zwave yet, but meshtastic and some other lora based mesh network stacks are familiar. One more interesting project is Recticulum with its RNodes: https://unsigned.io/rnode/
